To whatever extent fedora wants to claim to be the leading edge 
distributor of open source, it is all about fedora - and whether they 
want to claim responsibility or not, fedora and Red Hat before the split 
have almost certainly dropped more code in more peoples laps than anyone 
else.  Even if the article was strictly about businesses using RHEL, the 
changes all start being distributed in fedora - including the ones that 
are going to cause maintenance issues for users upgrading to the next RHEL.
